unfortunately it's not looking good on the incest statistic
This took me THREE YEARS to finish. I‘m so glad I’m finally done. This was actually. hard work. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the amount of detail put into this, but it‘s just not pleasant to read. So much information. So many characters. So much pain and violence. Overall, I’m glad I read this as a huge fan of the ASOIAF series. The second season of HotD finally motivated me to finish this. I‘m not gonna lie, I skim-read most of this after the dance of dragons, but I‘m just glad I’m done. If you like fictional history books, this one’s for you.
Good
Trotz teilweiser Längen fand ich es unglaublich spannend und freue mich jetzt noch mehr auf die nächste Staffel House of the Dragon
It‘s like reading a history book. Just like „The World of Ice & Fire“, it feels like a book a maester would write. Though interesting and definitely worth a read if you want to get deeper into the world of Game of Thrones, I was somewhat surprised when the book ended with Aegon III turning 16 and becoming the ruler of Westeros instead of following the bloodline all the way to the Mad King. Personally, I would have liked to know more about that guy. * Fire & Blood describes how the Targaryens came to Westeros and later the Dance of Dragons. Many names mentioned in the book ring a bell after reading the other books and it is finally revealed where Daenerys‘ dragon eggs came from. I recommend reading this book if you are a real ASOIAF nerd, otherwise just go and grab another book. * turns out this is only Volume I. I am equally relieved and exasperated.
If you like A song of ice and fire you will like this book too
This was remarkably engaging for a fictional history. You can't just fly through this as if it was a novel - it might get tedious then - however reading this bit by bit or, as I did, listening to the audio book works really well. There is a lot of drama and desaster but also some sweet moments and relationship. However, I think the part that will soon be a TV show was the least interesting to me, preferring the more character based chapters and peace- but still eventfull reigns to the wars.
If you are a fan of House Targaryen then this is a must read! The book contains the stories of Aegon the Conqueror, the famous Dance of the Dragons and the aftermath.
oh my god the chapter length was torture
I honestly didn't care about the Targaryen's before reading this book. However, I do love Martin's writing so buying this book was a no-brainer. His construction of Westeros and all the families is incredibly admirable and I adore the world he built, even though I generally dislike fantasy. I definitely had to watch a couple of episodes of "House of the Dragon" before reading "Fire and Blood." It's interesting that the creators of the series decided to start in the middle of the book rathern than with Aegon's Conquest. It's safe to say that they chose the most interesting part of the book, and I absolutely love Rhaenyra (which is also due to Milly Alcock's portrayal of her!) Generally speaking, this book was rather dry and not comparable to "A Game of Thrones" and the rest of his books. It's supposed to be a historic account of a maester, so there's not a lot of dialogue or discriptions of the landscapes, something I loved about ASOIAF. All the little details Martin came up with were so perfect, and it made the series feel so real. I think there were quite a few parts that were way too long, such as the long recount of King Jahaerys I reign or everything surrounding Aegon III. I nearly wanted to skip his part of Westeros history, I just didn't care about him. I also got confused who's who. It's hard to keep up with all the characters, especially if they're all Targaryens named after their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers. Every name appears twice and thrice. The book is rather unncessary, and probably only suitable for hardcore fans of the universe. Thank God I am that. Nevertheless, I am still patiently waiting for [b:The Winds of Winter|12111823|The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, #6)|George R.R.
